I posed the fuse question to John Twist a couple years ago. Here's his
reply:
Mike!
I've just rediscovered your email in a "lost" file in my Outlook Express.
The fuses have a 17 amp "continuous" rating and a 35 amp "temporary" rating.
I think simple 20 amp fuses from NAPA would be just fine!
John
FAST FORWARD!
